I migrated to Chrome until they fix that nasty effect, it's really unbearable on dark pages. And I have been quite pleasantly surprised in relation to performance, consumption and native translator (glorious). I think I'm going to stick with this for a while.
Good job...

RE: [Request]Give an option to remove the pointless round cornersAppearance
Not only are the rounded corners annoying, but two light lines have been added to your page frame, one on the left and one on the bottom, these are even more annoying than the rounded corners. Enter the dark page as "speedtest" and you will realize what I'm talking about.Before this disappeared when maximizing the browser (95.0.4635.84), now it is permanently.
Please developers, I've been an Opera user for many years, it's a great browser, don't screw it up with nonsense. Firefox will take a lot of advantage...

Did you only register to tell us, you're migrating?
Haha, wasn't originally the plan - I registered (again, because, as I understand, opera forums tend to delete old accounts) to join this topic and draw some developer's attention to the problem, having hope that they care. But then I scrolled over the forum a little, and understood that no one gives two farts in a martini, and that opera will never get back to normal design, or give us choice. It really smells like good old microsoft behavior - "eat what we give you". And it's Opera, browser I fell in love with exactly because it's always been so customizable that gave you ability to almost build your own browser. And now it's just an insult to the eye.
Also, Brave, having some issues on it's own, is at least open source.
And, in the end, what is my last argument as a user? Leave. Maybe that's how they hear me... Doubtfully, though.Opera was an excellent and fast browser when it used the Presto engine. Since it used to have compatibility problems, it switched to WebKit and its performance became a disaster. I had to migrate to Firefox because browsing with Opera with that new engine was frustrating. I remember that the browser options loaded as if it were a website. If your connection wasn't fast, the browser was hell slow. It was like going from heaven to hell overnight.
Over time, Opera moved to Blink and regained its dignity... but the truth is that it basically became Chrome with more functions, which I personally didn't use or were available through extensions. In my tests I was surprised that Opera consumes more RAM and more CPU with about 20 active extensions compared to Chrome, when the opposite was popularly read. No way, goodbye Opera.
The only thing I miss are the shortcuts on the home screen, but you can install extensions for that. Complementing with bookmarks in Chrome is enough for me.
Otherwise, Chrome is between equal and better. -

RE: Enhancer for YouTubeOpera add-ons
"Force the use of the MP4 format and the AVC codec (H.264)" in "Video codecs and formats" option is broke. Until a few days ago it was working fine, but now it is causing lag and freezing in the videos.

RE: Install Chrome ExtensionsOpera add-ons
Essential. It greatly expands the options to install Chrome addons on Opera. These work as if were native.

RE: High cpu usage watching youtubeOpera for Windows
@ab-garcez OK. It seems to work just leaving the mouse pointer on top of the sound icon. And immediately pressing [F] key can see full screen apparently without problems. Although I have not tried it outside of youtube.
Is there no way to directly disable that animation of the icon in the browser? It catches my attention that such a silly bug has not been fixed with an update. -
RE: High cpu usage watching youtubeOpera for Windows
The videos worked fine with "Install Chrome Extensions + h264ify" extensions for 1080p60fps. Now everything is scary lag with videos, even at 480p it suffers lag and intermittent pauses, even without those extensions. I have to use another browser to watch videos. Opera is becoming unbearable for this reason. I was not going to incorporate native h264 in version 65?
